Last I checked it was all about displaying the wealth (albeit stolen government money in a lot of cases), hanging out in bars and hosting/going to extravagant parties. Like you said, the unfortunate consequence is the new reality for Nigerians traveling wherever (and by extension Africans). Getting visas (especially to the U.S.) will now be next to impossible. And of course the country's image has just been destroyed to the point of no return. It's kinda funny now to think that the Nigerian branding experiment began this year.

I disagree, however, with your comments about continuing to operate a terrorist detention facility offshore at Guantanamo. There is no security risk at the facilities here in the United States, and our police and military should be held to high standards in their conduct toward those who commit acts of terror just as toward enemy soldiers.
